My wife and I grew up going to Cape Cod, and we were able to purchase our first toe-hold in 2004 and buy the adjoining unit in 2007 to re-configure.

We live in New Albany, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, and as our two children became involved in their activities - it was time to start sharing our slice of summer bliss with others.

We began renting the cottage in 2009 and (knock wood) haven't hit a snag yet.

What is special about this property?
Our guests always remark at how much they love the layout. Everyone can be together while cooking and watching the Red Sox.

Its size makes it easy to clean, yet there is sufficient privacy for naps, reading or working remotely.

Since the beach is only a 5-minute walk, you won't need a beach sticker. If you like to have a lot of gear at the beach, simply drop it off and bring the car back to the cottage. It also is easy to replenish the cooler.

We are attached to another condo, but there are no homes close to the back of us, so our spot is quieter than many other parts of Harwich Port or Dennis.

What is special about your town?
Harwich is centrally located for day trips to Boston and other towns and beaches on Cape Cod. If it rains, there are lots activities for kids and lots of great restaurants in town.

Nantucket Sound is always warm and inviting. Since it is shallow and protected by lifeguards, it is a great beach for younger children.
